I have narrowed it down to 4 cycle, long shaft, 2 to 3 HP. Have any of you skippers used a special prop on the motor? Seems like the prop pitch and diameter needs to match the the shaft RPM, motor power curve and the M-15 haul speed. What is the haul speed of M-15? Since the Pelican is still in keel surgery I have no way to make a speed run. sincerely Captain Jim Sadler skipper sailing vessel Pelican M-15 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats I doubt that prop pitch is very important on such a light boat. Those considerations are more for a heavy displacement yacht. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
